ATL: BETA - Remnants - Discussion

[jasons2k]

From Jeff Lindner:

Center of TD Beta located over central Brazoria County

Main band of moderate to heavy rainfall is across northern Harris County this evening where rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches have occurred since late this afternoon. This band has progressed steadily northward and weakened some with time. Recently new showers and moderate rainfall is starting to develop over portions of southern Harris County and around the Aldine area. Thus far rainfall rates have not been as high this evening as earlier today or last night.

With that said, the cumulative affects of the rainfall over the last 24 hours on top of the heavier rainfall this evening has resulted rise to near bankfull along the middle portions of Cypress Creek from US 290 downstream to near SH 249. Rises along the upper portions of White Oak Bayou upstream of Jersey Village have peaked below bankfull and the bayou is starting to fall. Horsepen Creek at Trailside has also crested below bankfull this evening.

Additional rainfall amounts of 2-3 inches will be possible over mainly northern and eastern Harris County tonight with isolated amounts of 5-8 inches.

Given the saturated soil conditions any additional rainfall will be converted to run-off and result in rises on area watersheds.

Clear Creek: overbank flooding continues along Clear Creek, the creek has crested and will begin a slow fall overnight, but remain overbanks into Wednesday.

Pretty much stopped raining in the Waller area. It's misty now. And really windy!

Looks like we're done with Beta in Houston. Rain is gone now, NW of Houston, and the radar looks good for us now.

Please discontinue downplaying anything and everything that doesn't hit in your area. That doesn't make unimpressive or less dangerous.

This seems to be a fairly consistent issue with your posts.

I wasn't downplaying the situation, just stating that this is not a very impressive system satellite and radar wise.

Respectfully disagree. Now back to Beta.

I can understand where some people can misunderstand some of my posts. So let me clear this up, I am very upset for those areas that did get flooding rains, but very happy that this system fizzled out like it did and didn't live up to the potential that it had.

36kt sustained gusting 46kt at Matagorda Bay Channel, elevated 12m.

think we found the TS winds

Does anyone have a NEXRAD screen capture or loop at the time of this reading? Nearby surface observations don’t seem to support such high winds.

Bump. Was this actually a TS at landfall? Do the data support that classification? If not, then maybe this was a high-end tropical depression.

MBET2 went as high as 41kt sustained, Port O' Connor also had 35kt sustained winds. Not sure how you can dispute a NOS surface observation corroborated by recon.

Radar @ time of the 41kt report.
